THE MARTIAN - One of the best films this year !

THE MARTIAN

If you haven't seen The Martian, head to the cinemas now.  Definitely one of the best films this year.  It tells the story of Astronaut Mark Watney who, after a fierce storm, is left behind by his crew and presumed dead. However, Watney survived and finds himself alone and stranded on a hostile planet. He must use all his wits and ingenuity to try to survive before any hope of rescue comes along.

Matt Damon is at his best here. He's funny, smart, and worth cheering for. Even the supporting actors are perfectly cast - Jessica Chastain, Sebastian Stan, Kate Mara, Michael Peña, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kristen Wiig, Donald Glover, to name a few.

It also has amazing visuals which make you feel like you're actually on planet Mars. This film will hold your attention as you find out what happens next. I didn't fall asleep even for a bit. It's got a good balance of action, comedy, and suspence. And by the way, I love the soundtrack too !

Based on the best-selling novel, and directed by Ridley Scott.
Watch it on the cineplexes !

THE INTERN - Funny, Charming, Relatable.

THE INTERN

 

A 70 year-old former businessman is hired as the new intern for the young 30-something CEO of a successful fashion website. What follows is something no one expected to see.

Robert De Niro who often played grumpy old men is credible as the charming gentleman who is looking for something to do after his retirement. While Anne Hathaway is believable as the young quirky founder of her own company. The two lead actors have great chemistry which is evident in most of their scenes. 

This is by far, the best employer-employee I've seen on film. It's funny, charming, relatable, and heart-warming. Written and Directed by Nancy Meyers (It's Complicated, Something's Gotta Give, The Parent Trap, etc.).
